Jeeez, that’s enough to wreck your whole day.

I have to say it, no, yes I have to….

I wonder if that crash happened while someone was having a test drive? Maybe it was the new owner rofl. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to drive.

[edit]Could have even been a "Watch dis bro" moment

Hmm... Brighton Rd, Parnell, too fast coming out of the uphill left-hander would be my guess, I drive this road a couple of times every week & I've never managed to do this.... granted I'm not driving a Lambo.

[QUOTE=puts99]F#ark me! Ten minutes from my home! Thats one less Lambo on the streets of Auckland. Probably halved the population.

I have it on good authority that Greg Murphy was at fault. He then ran from the scene with his hand bag in tow and blammed it on Ambrose who was aparently hidding in the recycling bin.

Did you read the questions/Comments at the bottom of the TradeMe page? Thats abit harsh.

Yeah, some of the comments there were pretty nasty. I'm sure they'd be feeling rather ordinary after writing off their own cars.

just goes to show, your driving skills are not directly proportionate to your wallet size!

*edit* All very childish comments on the trademe page. Is any of it really necessary?

I'll bet whoever did that to the car owns it now! Test driver or not. Mind you i can't see anybody letting joe average take a car like that for a test drive, at least not without putting up some money first.

Well, i just read a woman was driving it (suprise, suprise _ ), so unless her name was 'Greg', I'd say it was maybe a test drive or his partner. A lesson to be learnt there.
